and he became helpless. A hand-organ
was bought for Patterson, but the first
day he used it he got drunk and com
pletely knocked the music out of it.
For several years his counsel has been
urging his application for a pension,
but found much difficulty, owing to the
charge of desertion against him. Within
the past few days the charge was re-
moved, and finally the pension, the
largest ever paid by the government,
was received. An effort was made to
appoint guardian over Patterson, but
this was unsuccessful. Patterson's wife,
on hearing of the old soldiers good for
tune, returned and is now living with
him. There are several persons greatly
interested in the old mans affairs now
who heretofore would not look at him,
and it is feared that Patterson's wind
fall will grow beautifully less, if not
not entirely dwindle away, in the near
future" Now comes dispatch from
Elmira, N. Y, saying that DR.. r. N.
Mills, who had power of attorney
from Francis Patterson, the blind man
who recently received S13, 1922 pension
money, has disappeared, and about
$4,000 of the old mans money is also
missing. Evidence is accommodating to
show that Mills obtained the pension
by bogus aflidavits and has defrauded
the government.

A Big Pension and a Big Fraud.

A pension of S72 month and the
largest amount of arrears ever granted
in single case was recently given to a
poor New York soldier. The following
is the account of the case that was tele-
graphed to the newspapers; " Francis
Patterson, a well-known Elmira charac-
ter, and mentioned only as Blind ,
Patterson, last week received S13,322
back pension from the government,
and hereafter will receive S72 per
month. Patterson has had remark
able career. AT the age of twenty-four
he enlisted in the Union army, and was
a robust, healthy man, with good sight.
One day while on picket duty he was
struck completely blind. He tried to
find his way back TO camp, but was UNI
able to do so, and wandered off, where
he does not know. He was classed as
a deserter, but by chance escaped ar
rest. Patterson returned to Elmira,
where his infrmity was established,
and from that time Blind Patterson
has roamed the streets of Elmira a
beggar. He was led around by his son
a few years, but during the past eight
cen years his leader was well-trained
shepherd dog. The blind soldiers
wife left him, his son abandoned him

General Butler on the Rebel Battle.
Flag Question.

General B. F. Butler, in his recent
Boston speech. gave President Cleve-
land black eye for his order returning
the captured rebel flags to the South.
" The President of the United States, !"
he said, " has no more right to part
with single dollar of United States
property in time of peace, without the
authority of congress, than either of us
here at this table. And had supposed
we never could have President and
cabinet that would have to look into a
book to find that out" 1t was beyond
General Buffers comprehension how the
Massachusetts member Of the cabinet,
as lawyer, could have recommended
such thing. General Butler alluded to
the hanging of rebel on the spot fol-
laying his unholy hands on the flag of
the Union in New Orleans, and also that
Jefferson Davis issued proclamation
outlawing him (Butler) and Offering g
reward for his head. A Mr.. Yeardon OF
South Carolina also offered $4,000 fol
his head. "There is one thing
added General Butler, " will not give
up-one trophy l have. A good abo
litionist, who fought in Kansas ant
who was in Charleston, knowing that !
would want some token to remember
that Yeardon by, took the door-plate of
from Yeardon's front door and sent il
to me; and l have it now and mean t.
keep it,"

The Picnic Season.

1t is getting pretty near the picnic
season. Picnics are good things when
they are well conducted. The dinner is
always pretty important part to me. l
fear some of you will think that Uncle
Mark thinks more about eating than he
ought to. | must say that | am fond of
a good dinner and that have the high
est respect for a good cook. 1 think
the person who eats too much is guilty
of intemperance, but l also think that
unless person eats plenty of good food
that tastes good he will never amount
to much. But about the picnics. l

to run it through an Enterprise chop

some hard-boiled eggs were chopped
fine and mixed with it. A little milk
was added and the mixture spread on

begin her voyage of life, as she terms
it in her valedictory. She is the sweet
girl graduate. She has sent off to all
the John Thomases of her acquaintance
scented little notes of invitation to at
tend the commencement exercises at
the institute. She is very pretty, if
somewhat crude, and wears banged
hair and many white ribbons. Her
gown is white, with a sweeping trail.
1t is to her like foretaste of bridal
finery. She is in futter and sup
poses that this is the great trying ordeal
of her life. She carries her diploma as
young queen might carry her wand of
office. Her valedictory is tied with
blue ribbons, and there is good deal
of sentiment and poetry in it. She
talks about the stormy sea of life; OF
hope, the light that was never on land
or sea, and she is smothered in flowers
when she makes her pretty bow of re-
tirement. She has already gone through
the inevitable ceremonial of vow-taking
with her school chum. They are to
write to each other every other day.
They are to keep each diary and ex-
change them at the end of the year.
They are to have no secrets from each
other. They swear never to marry,
but after time, when they have been
out in society long enough, they will
meet somewhere, rent house or flat
together and live inseparably for the
rest of their mortal lives-the one de-
voting herself to china-painting, the
other to Kensington embroidery or
wood-carving. We have all heard her
rave over her bosom friend, Alice
Maud, the animated repository of all
her secrets. Six months 90 by. We
meet Agnes or Ethel, as the case may
be, and inquire after the bosom friend.
She draws up her slender body and her
eyes look daggers that John Thomas
wishes were buried in his heart, so
sweet if yet so sharp are they. If
you mean Miss Smith," says she, " /
know nothing of her. / decline to
know anything about her. She came
to my house and flirted so shamefully
with Mr.. Brown that he has never
been back since. l shall cut her the
next time 1 see her, the hateful old
thing ."-Cdthdrine Cole, IN Ne'c Or

A Cure for FelOns.

"What ails your finger?" was asked
of an old lady who had lost the end of
one digit. "That was caused by a
felon," was the reply. 81 have had
three bad felons in my life, but now !
can cure them every time" OF course
the next question was How?" "Just
as soon as l suspect | have felon
coming (you know it feels just as if
there was a splinter there, only there
isn't any | cut lemon in two and put
the sore finger into it. When the lemon
gets hot and Shiny l take another
piece, and keep doing so until the felon
is cured" How long does it take TO
cure one?" "If you take it in the
very beginning it can sometimes be
cured in night, but more often it takes
longer" Does the lemon make the
finger ache?" " Indeed it does, but
it kills the felon every time" So sure
was she of the good effects of this sim
pie remedy | thought it worth writing
down for your readers.-S Il. H., IN
Rural NeD Yorker.

How Woman Treats Her Husband.

A correspondent, who signs herself
" Old Maid" writes as follows to the
Ohio Farmer. &C. do not like the article
How to Treat a Wife, by Bachelor
He is preiudiced and only gives one
side of the question. Now let me speak
a few words for the husband Having
lived in many families, l have a good
chance to Judge on the subject at issue.
l notice that in about four cases out of
five the wife abuses the husband most.
| never lived in but one family that got
along to suit me, and never found but
one case where the husband was the
most to blame for their troubles. In
more than one-half the cases the wife
causes most all the trouble by always,
as soon as the husband comes in, relat-
ing, in a Whitney and fretful way, what
troubles she has had through the day.
She should wait till he gets rested be-
fore troubling him with her cares, and
then he would be less liable to consider
it as scolding and fault-finding. Of
course a woman has great many
trials that man has not, and vice
versa. But she has no right to trouble
him with them, as l have stated, and as
they generally do. Cases are few where
man wearies his wife by relating his
troubles continually while in her pres
ence. Another leading source of the
majority of family jars is what is called
curtain lectures, of which the wife
gives nine-tenths. The above remarks
are made from personal observation and
are real life pictures. And if it were
not for the dread of that gaping waste
basket / would add more for the bene.

Soloiers' Budget.
The Resembling of that Order.


Not Drum was heard, not poor shrll Drum,
As the back track was taken by Growers
Not Bourbon but looked uncommonly glum
At the flags which they couldn't recoverl
penitent letter preparing
by the beams OF the blazing northern light
And Daniel softly swearngl
An angry growl from the President stole,
And he seemed to the calm beholder
Like man that had put his foot in hole
Clear up to the blade in his shoulder
Formal and cold his epistle ran
He exhibited little detection
But steadfastly gazed on the face of Dan
And thought of next years election
He thought, as he finished and signed his name,
And read his resentment over,
That the boys in blue would tread down his fame
And make 1t quite lively for Grover!
Loudly they'll talk of his copperhead style,
And curse him both frequent and hearty;
Yet little he'll reck, retaining the smile
OF the fine old Bourbon party.
But half Of his heavy task was DER
When the news from the country reached him.
And he knew as he read how the veterans swore
That each loyal heart impeached him!
Slowly and sadly he bit his thumb,
On his brow was cloudet of thunder
He spoke not to Dan, he beat not Drum,
And they left him alone with his blunder

Reunion of the Second Vermont
Regiment.

The first reunion of the Second YER
mont Regiment was held at Burlington
last week, twenty-siX years from the
time they entered the service. About

June Dist, 1888. Colonel G. H. Joyce
of Rutland delivered an address, which
was well received and frequently APP
plauded. He said: Z" 1t is we'll to
keep alive the events of the war-not
to stir up strife or prevent reconcilia-
ton between the North and the South.
but that we may never fail to under
stand the difference between loyalty
and treason" General Peck of Bur.
lington read paper giving history OF
the services of the regiment from the
beginning to the end of the rebellion
Colonel Benedict said no betterregimeni
was sent from any state than the Second
Vermont. w. w. Noyes of Montpelier
the hero of the "bloody angle" at
Spottsylvania, told how he came tc
mount the breastworks to avenge 6
comrades death. He fired some thirty
rifles down into the enemy's ranks il
rapid succession, they being loaded
and passed up to him by his comrades
from below, the bullets all the time
passing like rain about him; but he es
capped unhurt until a bullet passed
through his cap and he was knocked
down from his perilous position.

Jubilee Ode.

The following lines, written by Hon. Rob
ert C. Winthrop, have been privatel
printed for distribution among friends:
Not as our empress do we come to greet thee,
August Victoria.
ON this suspicious jubilee
Wide as old England's realms extend
Ger earth and sea-
Her flag in every cline unfurled,
Her morning drum-beat comprising the world
Yet here her sway imperial finds an end
In our loved land of liberty
Nor is it as our queen for us to hail thee,
Excellent majesty,
On this suspicious jubilee;
Long, long ago our patriot fathers broke
The tie which bound us to foreign yoke
And made us free;
Subjects thenceforward of ourselves alone,
We pay no homage to an earthly throne
Only to God we bend the kneel
Still, still to-day and here thou hast part
nustrious lady,
In every honest Anglo-Saxon heart,
Albeit unframed to notes of royalty,
As lovers of our old ancestral race
In reverence for the goodness and the grace
Which lend thy fifty years of royalty,
monumental glory on the historic page,
Emblazoning them forever as the Victorian age.
For all the virtue, faith and forttude
The piety and truth,
Which mark thy noble womanhood,
As erst thy golden youth
We also would do honor to thy name,
Joining distant voices to the loud acclaim
Which rings DER earth and sea,
In attestaton of the just renown
Thy reign has added to the British crown.
Meanvhila No sUallino sounds of axultation
Can Danish from memory,
On this suspicious jubilee,
sanity figure standing at thy side,
The cherished consort of thy power and pride,
Through weary years the subject of thy tears,
And mourned in every nation
Whose latest words wrong to us withstood
The friend of peace-Albert, the wise and good.

The following question was asked
President Lincoln a few weeks after
Grant had been made lieutenant-gen-
eral: " What sort of a man is Grant?"
He replied: We'll, l hardly know
what to think of him altogether, He's
the quietest little fellow you ever saw.
He makes the least fuss of any man
you ever knew. l believe two or three
times he has been in this room min
ute or so before | knew he was here.
It's about so all around. The only evil
dence you have that he's in any place
is that he makes things git! Wherever
he is things move"
